Compiler and processor support for bit-banding

Compiler and processor support for bit-banding

Bit-banding is supported by the compiler in the following ways:

  • __attribute((bitband)) language extension

  • --bitband command-line option.

Bit-banding is a feature of the Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors (--cpu=Cortex-M3 and --cpu=Cortex-M4) and some derivatives (for example, --cpu=Cortex-M3-rev0). This functionality is not available on other ARM processors.
